Developed by the google research time. Pretty ironic

I bet Firefox is finally doing this because of the Google anti-trust lawsuit. They would always go along with Google as they got funding from them, but with that up in the air they don't need to keytoe the line anymore.

That would be really worrisome - like google told them not to do it "or else", but I very much doubt it haha. It's possible but I doubt the reasons are that complex. Hanlon's razor says it's just some guys playing favourite, others just not bothering to stick their neck out, and others worried about bugs and maintenance.
